Managed to catch a gnome-shell message "cannot reopen /dev/dri/card0: device busy" when plugging a USB-C dongle for an external monitor. So I logged out, and restarted my session *after* plugging in the dongle - surely it won't need to fuck with the device then? - and it started working.
(This is a dongle for an external monitor that I had never managed to make work. Apparently all I needed was to plug it in before starting my session.)
(Why was GDM happy with plugging in the middle...?)
who up effing they droid?

~2 years grinding working on an app, and now you can vibe code it in like a week
amazing what we've done with technology now. Sure we're going to have to spend time sifting the turds from the gold, but there will be more gold than ever

I spent 7 years working on @PixelFed@pixelfed.social almost daily, and I've wanted to build an app ever since. I'm a PHP/JS dev though, and thought it was impossible. So I forked a react-native pixelfed client in 2023 and slowly learned.Mastodon
sounds like the sort of bug a good static analysis tool would pick up, too.
But good to know that Claude isn't swamping you with dreck so that it's worth your time to use it for analysis like that.
Some of the other tools are scarily bad
Love to see the age range for this shite... I bet most of these people are under 40 and NOT raised properly...
Incidents include passengers accused of inappropriate touching, instigating fights, uttering threats, sneaking onto flights, refusing to sit during landing/takeoff, consuming their own alcohol, vaping cannabis, and a wide range of “intoxicated and unruly” behaviour... ctvnews.ca/canada/article/inde…

The official Québecois word for "hashtag" is "mot clic".
Yeah I have opinions and none of them good.
(in France it's "mot dièse")
This is wonderful. Sorry it’s an IG link, you might need a computer to view.

We are once again about to enter the new loop of trump's "facilitating peace talks" between Ukraine and russia.
We are at the step:
blame Ukraine.
Next step:
force Ukraine into a sketchy deal, written by russians.
Followed by:
fail and say it's all russia's fault;
someone visits russia and gets a blowjob by pootin;
blame Ukraine.

#Camper ist ein gemeinwohlorientiertes Tool zur Organisation und Durchführung von Barcamps - ohne KI.
Gerade wollte ich darauf verweisen und stelle fest, dass die Finanzierung wohl ausgelaufen ist.
Kennt jemand den Stand der Dinge?
Wäre nicht schön, wenn es nicht weiter betrieben und weiter entwickelt würde.

Keen on losing money? Go #AI
#Cory #Doctorov @pluralistic says sorry:
"No one has ever lost as much money as the AI companies.
There is no way to operate one of Nvidia's big AI-optimized GPUs without losing money. The owners of these GPUs who have lost the least money are the ones who rushed into buying GPUs without ensuring they'd have electricity to power them, and have been forced to leave their GPUs to age in warehouses.

Kritik an der Nutzung eines Altbots ist Fundamentalopposition und man rede damit die Mühen der Inklusion schlecht.
Oh man.
Ich würde mich echt freuen, wenn mehr Menschen darüber nachdenken würden, dass technokratische Implementationen im seltensten Fall die Problemstellung lösen.
Die Ausgabe eines Altbots ist für blinde Menschen nicht überprüfbar. KI-generierte Texte sind idR nicht hinreichend. Den Altbot Text kann man dann weder löschen noch korrigieren. Der Text ist im Reply versteckt (manchmal nicht mal im ersten Reply) und in der Timeline nicht sichtbar.
Dazu kommt, dass für Blinde die Navigation mit Screenreader erheblich aufwendiger ist, als für uns Sehende.

»curl — Projekt beendet Bug-Bounty-Programm:
curl-Maintainer @bagder hat das Ende des Bug-Bounty-Programms angekündigt. Unbrauchbare KI-Meldungen nahmen wohl überhand.«
Ach was, die KI ist künstlich aber nicht intelligent oder was nun?!?? Ich bin sogar der Meinung, dass dies was die KI angeht noch das rel. kleinste "Problem" ist. Schade dass deswegen das curl Bug-Bounty aufgelöst wird.

what do you wish someone had told you about the Git command line interface when you started using Git for the first time? Especially curious about what you wish you'd known if you ended up choosing to use a IDE/GUI interface to Git.
(mostly interested in replies from people who started using Git in the last 5-10 years)
You won't have to use it in a few years, because Jujutsu is git compatible and far more intuitive.
I was never terribly good at git, I'd say top 20th percentile of software devs but no higher, but ehh Jujutsu just makes it so much simpler.

Was having a problem with #openBSD -current where @thunderbird would cause the system to slow down before crashing the UI completely. I would have to SSH in from another box and reboot and this would take a while.
Seems that problem is now fixed. I’ve had Thunderbird running for two days with no issues.
Although - whenever I think I’m out of the woods….
Having said all this I still prefer #foss to being locked in with no privacy and having my data sold and being used to train LLM’s.

There is a petition on the UK Parliament website to legally recognise nonbinary as a gender – which would include an X marker on UK passports for nonbinary people.
The deadline to sign is March 2026 and at the time of writing only 213 people have signed.
Let's show them the power of the Fediverse. At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be debated in Parliament.

Non-binary isn’t a legally recognised gender in the UK. We urge the Government to legally recognise non-binary as a gender and people who identify as non-binary in the UK. This proposal would include an X marker on UK passports for non-binary people.Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

#Forgejo 14.0.0 was just released!
Issues search now has inline filters. Web file editor was replaced with CodeMirror. CSRF protection is now stateless. Forgejo actions gained new features and better trust management. Foreign keys are now supported to ensure database consistency.
Check out the blog post at forgejo.org/2026-01-release-v1…
@Gusted yepp, that's what I meant: much more intuitive now. That's what makes it so easy to find one's own issues at Github (which for someone like me, is crucial, as one cannot have thousands of apps' issues in a tiny brain like mine).
It's wonderful, and will help (not only) us a lot! 🤗
